Creative homeowners show how good things come in small places.

Self-Sufficient Efficiency
Marc Pachter always dreamed of living in a loft. He enlisted the help of architect Reena Racki to transform the dark, dingy basement of his Washington, D.C. home. The result is a wonderfully inviting, colorful, multipurpose guest apartment that he calls his "lower loft." He feels that his guests can't help but be happy in this space.

Curator of Color
Pachter's color scheme for his basement "loft" was inspired by a bowl he bought at a Smithsonian craft show. It didn't match any other room in his house. Since he was interested in designing a contemporary space, the very bold, shiny primary colors created a space that was vital in feeling and industrial in spirit. If you have a separate small space, play with color; be bold with design. Do something you wouldn't ordinarily do in the rest of your home.
